Chcerilus variegatus^ Simon, subsp. nigricolor, nov. 



At once recognizable from the typical variegatus by having 

 the dorsal surface, tail, legs, and palpi of a uniform dull 

 black, the sterna and coxal areas dull brown and not mottled 

 and variegated with yellow. The granulation of the dorsal 

 surface and tail is also less close, and the lower surface of 

 the first and second and often of the third caudal segments is 

 smooth, the keels being obsolete, at least on the first and 

 second. In variegatus the second and third segments are 

 granular and granularly carinate below.

 digit 5*5 ; width of hand 5.

Loc. Protjat in Eastern Java {type) and Kogok in Western 

 Java. 



Several specimens of both sexes presented to the British 

 Museum by Prof. W. Kulczynski. We have representatives 

 of the typical form from Tjibodas, Buitenzorg, and the Gede 

 Volcano. 



Genus Paeabuthus, Poc. 



Parabuthus Jlavidus, sp. n. 



Allied to P. capensis, Hempr. & Ehrenb. ( = planicauda 

 Poc), but differing in having the ocular tubercle larger, and 

 the tail thinner and lower, with the four inferior keels on the 

 second and third segments much more strongly elevated 

 posteriorly, the upper surface of the first mesially and nor- 

 mally longitudinally excavated, and the lateral and inferior 

 intercarinal spaces of the tail sparsely and weakly granular ■ 

 in planicauda the sides and lower surface of the tail are 

 closely and coarsely granular, and the upper surface of the 

 first is not excavated. It also differs from raudus of Simon 

 at least in having the inferior keels of the first caudal seg- 

 ment granular.
